Shai Gilgeous-Alexander<\/a> has been ruled out for the OKC Thunder’s<\/a> road game against the Utah Jazz<\/a> at 7 p.m. Sunday due to left elbow bursitis.<\/p>\n

Gilgeous-Alexander has played in every game for OKC (22-1) so far this season. The reigning MVP is averaging 32.8 points, 6.4 assists and 4.7 rebounds on 55.6% shooting from the field and 44.3% shooting from deep.<\/p>\n

Elbow bursitis is inflammation in the olecranon bursa. It’s the fluid-filled sac that surrounds and protects your elbow.<\/p>\n

OKC will also continue to be without Alex Caruso<\/a> (right quad contusion), Lu Dort<\/a> (right adductor strain), Isaiah Hartenstein<\/a> (right soleus strain), Isaiah Joe (left knee soreness), Thomas Sorber<\/a> (right ACL surgery) and Nikola Topi\u0107<\/a> (surgery recovery).<\/p>\n

OKC will place its 14-game winning streak on the line when it faces Utah (8-14). The Thunder earned a 144-112 road win over the Jazz<\/a> on Nov. 21.<\/p>\n
